[Elecraft] KPA500 finals blown

[efortner]

I would like to know what the continous keydown power output rating is. The
manual talks about ICAS. I know when I get on RTTY I does not take long for
The fans to come up to full speed running 300 watts.

KPA500 shut off with a bang while operating RTTY @300W.

Antenna is a steppir beam.

On opening the KPA500,found 2 ceramic? caps of VRF2933
adrift with underside of the said caps,black.

Have written to support.Is this the first time this has happened
in a KPA500?
